When faced with security threats or unexpected slowdowns, ensuring smooth operation of your web server involves utilizing the rich data contained in IIS log files. These logs include valuable information such as request time, IP addresses, user authentication, requested pages, agent details, status codes, and response times. They are crucial for identifying issues, detecting security breaches, improving performance, and streamlining data analysis. Although navigating IIS logs can be complex, log analysis tools like New Relic simplify the process, allowing for quicker problem resolution and enhanced user experience.
IIS logs are the go-to source for developers and system administrators to solve problems, optimize the user experience, and monitor activities in near real-time.
Administrators can choose the log format, such as W3C or NCSA, and select which data will be logged, determining the detail and complexity of the log.
